The Three Jewels: Buddha, Dharma, Sangha with Noliwe Alexander

This

Note: This event is in-person only. There will not be a streaming option. We recommend masks for anyone who would benefit.

Each day, we embark on our unique journeys, with each path serving as both a gateway and a direct route to freedom. Join us for this daylong gathering as we explore the profound treasures of the Triple Gem--the sacred refuges of the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. Through open dialogues, group discussions, and meditations, we will reflect on where we seek refuge.

The fee is on a sliding scale of $30 to $150. Remember that SBMG includes a donation for the teacher in the registration , so register as generously as you can.

Scholarships are available upon request. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. Use our sliding scale registration for folks who cannot pay the suggested range. Otherwise, please contact the coordinator, Kent, at [email protected]

If you wish to pay at the door or via check to the registrar, those options are available on the payment information page after you click the green "Register" button, enter the desired money amount and click the green "Checkout" button.
